The WJ IV provides two primary methods for comparing tests or cluster scores. One is based on a predictive model (the variation and comparison procedures) and the other allows comparisons of SEM confidence bands, which takes into account each measures reliability. A third method for comparing scores, one that takes into account the correlation between compared measures (ability cohesion model) is not provided, but is frequently used by assessment professionals. The three types of score comparison methods are described and new information, via a "rule of thumb" summary slide and nomograph, are provided to allow WJ IV users to evaluate scores via all three methods.

This is a presentation I made at the 2010 CNN conference in Fremantle Australia. It is an attempt to integrate CHC with neuropsychological assessment, with an emphasis on how NP tests can be interpreted from the CHC intelligence model which serves as a foundation for follow-up testing of NP tests with CHC measures.

It is the handbook used by health care professionals as an authoritative guide to the diagnosis of mental disorders.
The glymphatic system, a recently-discovered immune system of the central nervous system that offers opportunities for the development of techniques to modulate immune response. An opportunity for osteopathic manipulation research.
A presentation on deciding when the scores from two tests, which are from the same CHC domain (e.g., Gwm), and which may have the same narrow CHC classifications, are different enough to warrant clinical interpretation.

This presentation contains a historical overview of the derivation of the Glr ability domain in contemporary CHC theory. It then presents new data, as well as historical conclusions of the CHC masters, that makes a strong case for replacing the stratum II broad ability domain of Glr with two separate broad ability domains of Gl (learning efficiency) and Gr (retrieval fluency). How to obtain WJ IV scores for these two broad abilities is presented, as well as other possible Gl and Gr tests indicators from the CHC cross-battery literature.

For centuries educational psychologists have highlighted the importance of "non-cognitive" variables in school learning. The presentation is a "big picture" overview of how cognitive abilities and non-cognitive factors can be integrated into an over-arching conceptual framework. The presentation also illustrates how the big picture framework can be used to conceptualize a number of contemporary "buzz word" initiatives related to building 21st century educationally important skills (social-emotional learning, critical thinking, creativity, complex problem solving, etc.)

Bayesian Assurance: Formalizing Sensitivity Analysis For Sample SizenQuery
Title: Bayesian Assurance: Formalizing Sensitivity Analysis For Sample Size
Duration: 60 minutes
Speaker: Ronan Fitzpatrick, Head of Statistics, Statsols
Watch Here: http://bit.ly/2ndRG4B
In this webinar you’ll learn about:
Benefits of Sensitivity Analysis: What does the researcher gain by conducting a sensitivity analysis?
Why isn't Sensitivity Analysis formalized: Why does sensitivity analysis still lack the type of formalized rules and grounding to make it a routine part of sample size determination in every field?
How Bayesian Assurance works: Using Bayesian Assurance provides key contextual information on what is likely to happen over the total range possible values rather than the small number of fixed points used in a sensitivity analysis
Elicitation & SHELF: How expert opinion is elicited and then how to integrate these opinions with each other plus prior data using the Sheffield Elicitation Framework (SHELF)
Why use in both Frequentist or Bayesian analysis: How and why these methods can be used for studies which will use Frequentist or Bayesian methods in their final analysis

Implications of 20 Years of CHC Cognitive-Achievement Research: Back-to-the...Kevin McGrew
Much has been learned about CHC CHC COG-ACH relations during the past 20 years (McGrew & Wendling’s, 2010). This presentation, made at the First Richard Woodcock Institute on Cognitive Assessment (Sept 29, 2012), built on this extant research by first clarifying the definitions of abilities, cognitive abilities, achievement abilities, and aptitudes. Differences between domain-general and domain-specific CHC predictors of school achievement were defined. The promise of Kafuman’s “intelligent” intelligence testing approach was illustrated with two approaches to CHC-based selective referral-focused assessment (SRFA). Next, a number of new intelligent test design (ITD) principles were described and demonstrated via a series of exploratory data analyses that employed a variety of data analytic tools (multiple regression, SEM causal modeling, multidimensional scaling). The ITD principles and analyses resulted in the proposal to construct developmentally-sensitive CHC-consistent scholastic aptitude clusters, measures that can play an important role in contemporary third method (pattern of strength and weakness) approaches to SLD identification.
The need to move beyond simplistic conceptualizations of COG COG-ACH relations and SLD identification models was argued and demonstrated via the presentation and discussion of CHC COG-ACH causal SEM models. Another example was the proposal to identify and quantify cognitive-aptitude-achievement trait complexes (CAATCs). A revision in current PSW third-method SLD models was proposed that would integrate CAATCs. Finally, the need to incorporate the degree of cognitive complexity of tests and composite scores within CHC domains in the design and organization of intelligence test batteries (to improve the prediction of school achievement) was proposed. The various proposals presented in this paper represented a mixture of (a) a call to return to old ideas with new methods (Back-to-the-Future) or (b) the embracing of new ideas, concepts and methods that require psychologists to move beyond the confines of the dominant CHC taxonomy of human cognitive abilities (i.e., Beyond CHC).

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2. The content of this presentation represents the work and opinions of
Dr. Kevin McGrew and does not necessarily reflect the opinions of all
the WJ IV authors or the publisher of the WJ IV (HMH)
Also note that in the examples provided, interpretation uses the
standard score (SS) metric. The preferable metric for understanding
performance on the WJ IV measures is the Relative Performance
Index (RPI). However, since the question that is addressed is “how
unusual must two test/cluster scores be from each other before I
consider them to represent a meaningful and unusual difference?”,
the SS metric must be used as this is not possible when using the RPI
metric.
3. Three primary models for
evaluating score differences
(Payne & Jones, 1957)
www.iapsych.com/articles/payne1957.pdf
It’s a pleasure when you use
the correct measure
34. How to interpret the base rate rule-of-thumb figure on prior slide: GIA/Gf+Gc example
How big of a SS difference is
needed between a person’s
GIA and Gf+Gc cluster
scores before I can consider
the difference rare and
meaningful?
If 1.5 (13 % base rate) is
your rule, then the
GIA/Gf+Gc difference must
be approximately + 12
points or more.
If 1.65 (10 % base rate) is
your rule, then the GIA
Gf+Gc difference must be
approximately + 13 points
or more.
35. How to interpret the base rate rule-of-thumb figure on prior slide: Gf cluster example
How big of a SS difference is
needed between a person’s
Number Series and Concept
Formation scores (Gf cluster)
before I can consider the difference
rare and meaningful?
If 1.5 (13 % base rate) is your rule,
then the Number Series/Concept
Formation difference must be
approximately + 24 points or more.
If 1.65 (10 % base rate) is your rule,
then the Number Series/Concept
Formation difference must be
approximately + 27 points or more.
36. The required magnitude of SS differences required varies by
degree of correlation (cohesion) between the two measures
Note that the critical
base rate values for a
cluster with highly
correlated tests (Gc; r =
.71; 18/20) are much
smaller than for a cluster
with tests that are more
weakly correlated (Gf;
r=47; 22/27)
